The Noted Stallion Case.

The United States District Court has made an
order directing the United States marshal to sell
the eleven I'D fine imported stations and one
~ jack which were seized few months ago in
the northern part of this State for the non pay
ment of customs taxes. The sale will be made
Wednesday, July 13, at the Union Stock
yards, in Indianapolis. This will be rare
chance for horse men to buy fine biooded stall
lions at bargains, the marshal will sell them
to the highest bidder for cash. The valuation
put upon these animals by the appraisers of
customs at the port of entry was about twenty
thousand dollars. 90 per cent tax would
therefore bring 81. 900 into the United States
treasury.

How Monkeys Eat Oysters.

A writer in Nature gives the follow
ing description OF the monkeys
method of taking and eating oysters:
In the islands of Meigue archipelago,
the ROCKS left bare at the low tide are
covered with oysters of different sizes.
A monkey, probably the Macacus
cynomolgus, which inhabits these
quarters, prowls along shore when
the tide is low, and opens the oysters
attached to the rocks, and striking
the upper shell with stone until he
has broken it. Then he extracts the
mollusk with his fingers or swallows
it directly from the shell. Upon
frightening these epicures away, the
observer found that the stones that
they left behind had been selected
with a view to be easily grasped by
the animals fingers, and not with re-
gard to heaviness. The fact is more
curious in that the rocks to which the
oysters are ATTACHED emerge from the
mud, and the monkeys are obliged to
procure the stones on the shore at some
distance off. Instinct singularly guides
them in the operation, for they begin
by breaking the hinge, and then the
shell above the point of attachment.
The gibbons that 1nhabit these islands
do not eat oysters.

Milk for Babes.
From a Washington Letter.

Every day. says the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Illness Star, you see g. man with a
queer-shaped box, with a handle to
it, going about the departments.
Sometimes his box, or tray, is full of
empty bottles; other times they are
filed with some white liquid.
He goes about in mysterious way,
stepping in and out OF the rooms oc-
cupied by clerks, and you might think
there was some contraband article in
those mysterious bottles. But there
is not.
It is simply milk. He has worked
up a big business in the past year or
so in delivering milk in these wide.
mouthed bottles, looking like fruit
jars, to clerks for use with their
lunches in the middle of the day. In the
war, state, and navy building alone
he delivers between 100 and 200 bot
ties every day.

Aged Bank Presidents.
From the Poughkeepsie Eagle.

From the Poughkeepsie Eagle
We found the following In an ex-
change a few days since:
C. -, presid emit of the national
bank, has just entered his ninetieth
year, but his birthday found him
severely i'll. He is unable to leave his
bed, and yet, notwithstanding the
lack of sight and hearing, he has the
use of his faculties to an unusual de-
gree"
Is it any wonder there is misman-
agement in banks, and that cashiers,
tellers, and bookkeepers occasionally
leave hurriedly for Canada, when g.
man is kept in the Office of president
after he is blind, deaf, and bedridden?
This may be an extreme case, and yet
it is the rule when once man is elected
a bank president to continue him in
Office until death, no matter whether
he attends to his duties or knows
enough to attend to them or not.
The directors are usually continued
In office the same way elected in the
first place because they take certain
amount of stock, they are continued
from year to year, whether they de-
velop any ability in that line or not,
while the bank is managed entirely by
the cashier; and oftentimes the direct
ors are not even allowed the poor
privilege of examiningthe paper until
alter it is discounted

A Very Sharp Dog Story.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Gen. George FL. Sharpe lately told
me a capital story. The hero of it
was dog belonging to the Generals
son-in-l law, Congressman Ira Daven-
port. The family supplied the dog
with a basket in which q nickel was
daily deposited. Selling the handle OF
the basket with his teeth he would
trot to the butchers, buy himself
5 cents worth of meat and trot home
again. Then having eaten all the meat
that his appetite craved, ne prudently
proceeded to bury the rest. Up to
this point there is nothing novel in the
Incident. Many dog has been trained
to do its own marketing. while moth
ing is more common than to see q dog
burying meat for q rainy day. But
listen to the rest OF the story. Gen.
Sharpe says that one morning the dog,
instead of bounding away as usual al
ter his basket had been handed to him,
paused in a contemplative attitude
and then overturned the basket, seized
the nickel in his mouth and going out
to one corner of the garden proceeded
to bury that. "You can see," the
General added, ''how the dog reasoned
1t occurred to him that if nickel was
good for piece of meat, he might as
well bury the one as the other" 1t
seems to me | never met better ex.
ample of caniae appreciation OF cause
and effect.
